THE BALLAD OF WALLIS ISLAND (12) follows an ultra-wealthy, eccentric lottery winner called Charles (played by Tim Key) who uses his fortune to orchestrate the ultimate passion project. He tracks down and reunites his absolute favourite indie-pop musicians McGwyer Mortimer (Tom Basden and Carey Mulligan) — who happen to be long-disbanded and deeply estranged.
Flown out to a completely remote, private island, the former bandmates are forced to stage a private concert just for him. However, isolated from the world, old grudges quickly resurface, creative egos clash, and the billionaire’s bizarre demands push everyone to their absolute limits.
Starring Carey Mulligan alongside comedy heavyweights Tom Basden and Tim Key, this sharp, witty comedy delivers brilliant banter, cringeworthy social dynamics, and a lot of heart.
